Yes, I see how it gets set here:
findItem.setHead(T_head1);
I think what is causing me so much trouble is my lack of knowledge of DRI and
cocoon.
I was expecting the DRI object to be completely converted to HTML by the
themes, but that is not the case, right? Some tags in the DRI object are
handled by cocoon, right, and this is one of them.
For now I've just been trying to understand the code because I'd like to make a
change to the withdraw confirmation page. I'd like to add a pick list for the
user to select the reason for withdraw. How I create this pick list is still a
mystery to me. I've been looking at the creation of the pick list for the
advanced search page as a guide. Actually, hoping that I could copy paste and
change a few things, but I don't think it's going to be that easy.
I'm going to read:
http://scott.phillips.name/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tdl-manakin-training.pdf\
to see if it can help me.
I found the jspui interface a lot easier to understand.

Hi, Jose:
> would put the message "Find Item" in the url
I'm guessing you actually mean in the title of the page?
I believe your answer is somewhere in this file:
dspace-src/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/xmlui/aspect/administrative/item/
FindItemForm.java
Two methods are of interest here: addPageMeta and addBody, they define the
content for the Find Item form.
Does that help?
